java.lang.IllegalStateException: Error configuring Firefox Browser in Selenium

Question

Java Version - 1.8

Eclipse Version - 2018-09 (4.9.0)

Selenium - 3.141

Firefox expandable file - v0.23.0

My code :

package testcases;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class TestBrowsers {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Users\\adiwakar\\Documents\\Selenium Browser files");
        FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
        driver.get("https://www.google.com/");

    }

}

Errors:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: The driver executable is a directory: C:\Users\adiwakar\Documents\Selenium Browser files

It looks like you defined a path as a driver, you should define your driver executables path as a driver like following code :

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Users\\adiwakar\\Documents\\yourDriver.exe");
